JR Art: Transforming neighbourhoods around the world

Artist, JR, along with Bill Clinton, accepted the TED prize of $100, 000 for "exceptional individuals" last year. I have been following this man's work, and can appreciate the good he is doing with his art. JR visits poor and struggling neighbourhoods around the world, and transforms them for the better with his massive prints of residents plastered on the exteriors of buildings. In some cases, like his project in Kenya - his work actually acted as support for the buildings, helping the community in more ways than one. Heads up for JR's film Women Are Heroes release on January 12.
